Katchafire Announce Collab with Kolohe Kai On Colour Me Life Single
Katchafire announce their next single to be lifted from their forthcoming Revival 2.0 Guest Edition album, releasing Colour Me Life with Hawaii’s Kolohe Kai, out on June 5. The Revival 2.0 Guest Edition album is slated for release on November 27.
“Katchafire is without a doubt my favourite reggae band of all time. All through High School we’d spend almost every day singing songs like Seriously, Get Away and Meant To Be. To have the honour to be a part of a remake of Colour Me Life twenty years later is beyond anything my childhood musical dreams could’ve come up with. Mahalo to Katchafire for having me on this!”, Kolohe Kai said.
JUST JANIE RELEASES ALBUM Mythology of the Girls
Ōtautahi-based Indie-folk musician Just Janie is entering a new era with her debut album Mythology of the Girls. A reaction to nostalgia through a modern lens, the album pays homage to the folk scene of the late sixties and early seventies and deconstructs the rose-tinted perspective for the era where women faced a myriad of societal limitations.
